WILLIAM DoRsHEIMER.

NEW YORK, April 2G-The Star says edi-
torially to-day: In view of the reports
which have been sent out by the Washing
ton correspondents of some western news
papers think it proper to make
the following statement: In January
last the President said to me that he
had been contemplating the making of a pub
tic declaration which would take him out of
the field as candidate in 1888. He said that
he was lead to this conclusion not only by
personal considerations, which were daily
cast upon him, and which interfered with his
usefulness in office. After listening to the
Presidents declaration, and supposing he
wished an expression of my opinion, l told
him that thought such declaration would
be very unwise, and that it would increase his
perplexities rather than diminish them"

In modern society the sale of a
mans vote should be looked upon
with the same loathsome horror as
was the leper In the middle ages.
The man who so far forgets himself
and commits such an action should
be stigmatized by his fcllow-inan,
and in free country, should be ex-
cluded from intercourse with socIe-
ty, for he who would do such an
act, is worthy Of all contempt, in
grasping money which trammels and

In days not long past in this State
the procuring of patents to lands by
unlawful means was CONSIDERED quite
the proper thing. Public sentiment
favored it, and newspapers that pub
lished law notices helped it by using
obscure type, or even by lifting out
type after a few copies of the paper
had been quietly struck. Patents
were taken out in the names of per-
sons deceased, or of non-residents.
As the statute OF limitations for per-
jury is only two years, the risks at
tending periuries Of this aort of thing
was generally small. All was justi-
fed on the ground of simple business
necessity.
Now, however, the unpleasant CON
sequences of all this are beginning
to appear. Lands are growing so
valuable as to cause titles to be
closely investigated. Did the result.
ing vexation and loss fail upon the
doers of the fraud, no one would pity
them much. But too often this is
not the case. Innocent transferers
in many instances, who were too lax
in looking up tie titles they took
from the original patentees, are now
made to suffer, and much vexatious
litigation has resulted. All that can
he done now is perhaps TO exercise
greater caution in accepting titles,
but it is TO be hoped that the settlers
af new lands will take warning, and
discontinue such frauds in the ru-
tsrc. Dcn,er Journal of Commerce.

Family Anniversaries.

What untold delight would be lost TO
the juvenile world if there were no an
niversaries. What would the small
boy do withou the Fourth of July, the
family without the Christmas festival
and the gentlemen without their New
Years callsP What delightful pleas
ure and joyful anticipation would fade
away if there were no family festivals,
no birthdays or wedding anniversaries.
There are some families who never
give thought to these white mile
stones, and other families who recog-
nize them each and every one, from the
smallest baby's birthday to that of the
oldest inmate of the home. The birth
day cake with its bright sugar plums
is better than all other cakes, and is a
little souvenir that marks family day.
No matter how simple it may be it is
cherished and loved for the pleasant
home associations. Let us wreathe
these days with garlands. There are
none too many.-Detroa Tribune.

GIRLS PENMANSHIP.
why Yonng Ladies' Should Pay More At
tention to Their Handwriting.

tentiou to Their HANDWRITING.
Girls should look to their handwriting,
for it may serve them at some future
crisis better than short hand or the type
writer, says the Youths Companion. There
is lady clerk In the Department OF the
Interior, Mrs. Avery by name, VINO has q
snug and easy place Of 81, 900 year, chief y
on account of the extraordinary excel
lence Of her penmanship. II is she who is
selected to copy the letters of the depart
ment which are regarded as of the great
est consequence, such, for example, as
are to receive the attention Of the Presi-
dent, who frequently compliments Mrs.
Avcry's admirable penmanship.
No doubt her handwriting is neat and
elegant, because, when she was learning
the art she took pains; and no doubt 9TH
er girls could do as WELL by taking the
same course Considering the advantage
1t is to many girls to write good hand, it
Is strange that more of them do not try
to acquire this accomplishment. OF late
years our schoolgirls and school boys do
great al more writing than they did
formerly Much is done in school now
by way of dictation, and in many sch ools
the pupils have pencil OF pen in hand al.
most half the time.
But it would not be true TO say that the
girls Of to-day write more legibly and
neatly than their mothers did. 1t would
be we'll II they paid far more atten.
ton to this matter than they do
But they should make serious
study of it-acquire the habit Of
taking the best posture; learn to use the
mu scles to advantage, so that they may
not easily become tired; and then prac
tice, as one who intend to become pro-
fessional musician practices. When {
piece of writing gets worse and worse
page after page, 1T is because the writer
did the work with only one end of the
muscular system of the arm, instead O.
employing the whole Of its exquisite an(
harmonious machinery. Mrs. Avery, it il
said, writes as easily as she does legibly
She writes as we'll at the end of her days
work as at the beginning, and her fingers
never ache.

COM MON MANURE.
Its Decided Advantage Over All Sorts O
Manufactured Fertilizers.

Its Decided Advantage Over All Sorts OF
Manufactured Fertilizers.
1t is quite generally understood that
barn manure has mechanical effect
on the soil which is not obtained from
commercial fertilizers; thatath large
quantity of partially decayed vegeta-
ton it contains lightens up the soil and
finally adds humus to it, but CONNER
cial fertilizers have tendency to ex-
haust the humus and finally harden
the soil and make it lumpy, unless the
crops be of character to leave a con-
siderable quantity Of vegetation to
pillow under each year.
This is an advantage of barn manure
that is very generally understood by
the farmers who give the subject the
least thought; but there is another adj
vantage which is too often entirely
overlooked, which is the chemical ac-
ton which barn manure has upon the
soil while in the process Of decomposi-
ton.
When barn manure decomposes it
produces large quantities OF carbonic
acid gas which, when it mingles with
the soil, has tendency to decompcse
the soil itself, and as the soil is rich in
plant food that is locked up in the
stones, and unfavorable until separ-
ated, whatever is applied to the soil
that will make it available is so much
gained. 1t is true, the work of decom-
position of the soil is always going on,
but so slowly that it furnishes but a
small part of what is needed for the
growth of our forced crops.
In the woods, where Nature has her
own way and is left to gather her own
materials, the soil, by the eXhalations
from the roots of the trees. is decom-
posed fast enough TO furnish the trees
all of the mineral element necessary to
secure fair growth, and have quite a
surplus in the soil for some future
crop; but in field or garden crops we
demand such large and rapid growth
that we are compelled to assist nature
by the application ofmaterials that are
at once available for plant food, and
whatever we can apply that will assist
Nature to manufacture plant food
more rapidly from the soil will be Of
value, in addition to the chemist &
valuation. so if the application of barn.
yard manure to the soil assists Nature
in her wonderful and mysterious work
of converting the stones into plant
food it adds to its value. and it should
have due credit for it.
Whenever barn manure is compared
with commercial fertilizers it should
always receive credit for what it i,
capable of doing in the way of hasten,
ing the decomposition of the soil. Al
the plant food locked up in the soil i,
iRexhsustible, whatever we can apply
that will make any of it available is 81
much clear gain to the farmer. l
